We had breakfast outside on the extra "patio" created by the closing off of the street. The restaurant interior looked funky and there was a sidewalk patio area as well. The food was fantastic! I had a small serving of the granola and yogurt dish and the yogurt was so tasty it reminded me of homemade I used to make. Every dish we saw had a little tablespoon of fresh fruit unless fruit was part of the dish, then the serving was larger. The crêpe was folded like a burrito and the potatoes were nicely seasoned. Everything was super tasty and I cannot wait to find an excuse to go for another meal! There was a full bar inside, suggesting lovely afternoons on the patio.

Cute little breakfast place on Bernard, serving up classics with a great cup of coffee. A great option in the outremont mile end area!

We were a bit nervous being non-French speakers, but the ladies were helpful and can speak English well. The egg Benedict and crepe we ordered were good. Best to arrive earlier in the morning when the sun is not that hot yet as it is nice to eat outside. Quite far from other areas though, so best if you have your own ride or have the unlimited bus pass. The walk towards it will lead you to a quiet, residential area.

I have been going to Cafe Souvenir for decades. It has always been consistently great even when the ownership changed a few times. While the former concept was fantastic with the passport menu and more choices than you could ever try, I love this current ownership and iteration of the cafe and menu. It’s owner run, so they know what they’re doing and the attention to detail is there. Warm milk with your coffee, omelettes brought straight from the pan, to name a few details I appreciate. They know how to cook; French from France style. So many restaurants in Montreal have gone up in price and down in value. Not Cafe Souvenir! They are doing it well and I highly recommend them. Great, friendly service. One of my regular brunch places.

Quaint neighborhood Cafe across from the theater. The Omelette was outstanding! I ordered decaf coffee and it tasted wonderful.
